If a near death experience isn’t enough to break the texting habbing while behind the wheel I think it says something about how impacted the brain is by this technology. I just don’t think the brains of kids raised with ubiquitous texting, streaming videos, selfies and the like process info in quite the same way as the generations prior.
I don’t text or talk on a phone when I drive, usually don’t even carry a phone.
Had to carry a cell phone when I was working, hated it.
I have a cell phone around the house here some where, it will make noise at me when the battery starts to go dead.
The only thing they are good for is storing phone numbers that you might want or need to call someday.
In my opinion being constantly connected is highly overrated.
